About this entry
A two-hundred-island archipelago that hides whole towns in fog. The editors’ note placed it here on the basis of three criteria: durability across re-reads (or re-watches, or re-plays), influence on the entries that came after it, and the degree to which it could only have been made by the person — or team — who made it.
In the comparative table maintained by the Places desk, The Skerry Coast sits within a band of 1 – 4 that contains some of the most contested swaps of the year. Editors vote with arguments; a swap requires three editors and one written defense.
